[collectd] collectd as server

I have compiled the latest package and installed it.
Works fine in standalone mode. When I put it in server mode,
all it does is stream out messages to syslog like this:

  Feb  1 19:45:45 jupiter collectd[25875]: No listen sockets found!
  Feb  1 19:45:45 jupiter collectd[25875]: getaddrinfo (ff18::efc0:4a42,
  25826): Bad value for ai_flags
  Feb  1 19:45:45 jupiter collectd[25875]: getaddrinfo (239.192.74.66,
  25826): Bad value for ai_flags

Looks to me like it's trying to do some ipv6 thing though I don't see
any way to disable that. And it's getting a very whacky ip address.
This is my conf file; I am reasonably sure it is being read since it
creates the PID file in the 
right place and complains if /var/state/collectd does not exist.

PIDFile /var/run/collectd.pid
PluginDir /usr/local/lib/collectd
DataDir /var/state/collectd

Mode Server
Listen 216.174.197.133 25826

LoadPlugin cpu
#LoadPlugin cpufreq
LoadPlugin df
... remaining plugin lines deleted

Thanks for any help

Brian
